Her parents want her to have a party, but she is not sure. What if no one comes? What if they come and have a really boring time and then all leave early? What if her parents hate her friends because they behave badly and then ban her from seeing them? What if everyone thinks her house is a dump?]]> 2021-09-20 05:40:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753012212 jasonportelli https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753013195 What are the negative or pessimistic thoughts at play here?]]> 2021-09-20 05:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753013195 jasonportelli https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753013556 What sorts of positive or optimistic thoughts could they have instead in order to consider this from an alternate perspective?]]> 2021-09-20 05:41:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753013556 jasonportelli https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753016588 Harry is really upset because his friend borrowed his bike and damaged it. He didn't even say sorry. Harry thinks he can't even bother asking him to get it fixed because his friend does not care. He thinks he can't tell his dad in case he gets mad about him lending out his new bike. He has been trying to hid his bike from his dad so it doesn't get noticed. ]]> 2021-09-20 05:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753016588 jasonportelli https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753017148 What are the negative or pessimistic thoughts at play here?]]> 2021-09-20 05:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753017148 jasonportelli https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753017489 What sorts of positive or optimistic thoughts could they have instead in order to consider this from an alternate perspective?]]> 2021-09-20 05:44:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753017489 jasonportelli https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753020531 Trent wants to get into the middle school soccer team, but he was never in the junior team because he missed the tryouts when he was sick. If he goes to the tryouts he might look bad and not get picked - and then everyone will know and call him a loser. He doesn't know if he is good enough or if the coach already has favourites from last year. So, he is thinking maybe he shouldn't bother. ]]> 2021-09-20 05:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753020531 jasonportelli https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753021333 What are the negative or pessimistic thoughts at play here?]]> 2021-09-20 05:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753021333 jasonportelli https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753021427 What sorts of positive or optimistic thoughts could they have instead in order to consider this from an alternate perspective?]]> 2021-09-20 05:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753021427 jasonportelli https://padlet.com/jasonportelli/w8cr1jwzophf4x5v/wish/1753024738 Lia can't get started on her assignment and it is due in two days. every time she thinks about it she thinks her ideas are dumb, and she goes and spends time on her Xbox instead. When her mum checks with her about homework, Lia pretends that it is all done already. Then the whole night is gone and she's done nothing. WHen her teacher checks on her progress, and offers help, Lia tells him she left her work at home.
